UA students are invited on an academic and cultural enrichment journey: a trip to China. Sponsored by the Confucius Institute, the trip is scheduled for June 8 to July 1 and is open to up to 20 eligible students, or anyone in the UA community who has completed at least one semester of Chinese or the three-week intense Chinese language course the institute will offer in May.

Full funding will be provided for:

Chinese language classes at Henan University. Students will receive three to four hours of language instruction daily

Lodging accommodations

Meals

Tours to Kaifeng, the Yellow River, Xi’an, Shaolin Temple, Bejing and the Great Wall

Participants will be responsible for the costs of their round-trip airfare, passport and visa. One credit hour may be earned. Interested students can attend an introductory session on Wednesday, Dec. 5, at noon in Leigh Hall 414 (Note: the room has changed from the first posting).
